My condolences, but why are people paying more attention to dead famous people this year?

Don't worry, I have a chunk of amber that contains a mosquito that bit him one summer.

AUGHHHH. I saw this thread as I jumped into the Obama thread and thought OOO New Book? I saw a Chrighton thread!

But when I got back to General section, I got to finish the full title...

Wow. Fuck. Goddamnit. I love books, and he's one of my favorite authors. Sphere, man, SPHERE. JP 1 and 2... Cell gave me nightmares. Congo? Airframe? Many others /shivers

It makes it seem like a conspiracy!

[Khamsin]

More famous people are dying this year compared to others, so they get skewed, disproportionate publicity as a result of those raw statistics.

[Kuya]

I haven't heard a thing about more famous people dying this year. Not to mention the ambiguousness of such a statement; are we talking about famous AMERICAN people? If so, then it's really not "the year where the most famous people died".

There are famous people OUTSIDE of America? Who knew.

[Killgannon]

i think theres been more noteable popular people who have died this year... ones that are still floating around as household words... etc

Were this any other occasion i would have assumed this was sarcasm, or at least sarcasm with a hint of truth.

Sphere was my favorite done by him. Jurassic Park and Prey (AHHH nanobots) and the one about global warming were entertaining reads as well.

Bernie Mac =(

Heath Ledger =( =(

OH GOD GEORGE CARLIN *sobs* =( =( =(

[Plow]

Timeline was the shit

The Lost World book was really good too.

[Cow_k]

I think it's because of lot of these deaths have been really out of nowhere. It seems like we're having a lot of famous people dying rather unexpectedly. At least that's how I see it.

fucking skrulls, it has to be skrulls
